Only over the last 2 years has it grown. It used to be at the Mesa Convention Center and was pretty much an Indy show/Star Trek convention. Tons of Trek actors, lots of independent comic companies, and Wil Wheaton. In 08 they had Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness for the launch of Rulk and a few others. 09 had Todd McFarlane and Whilce, and 3 Next Generation cast members. Last year Stan Lee was there and it added some legitimacy to the con, I think. They also moved it to the Phoenix CC downtown last year. I guess it tripled in attendance, more than they anticipated. This year it's expected to get bigger yet. Lee, Hama, Max Brooks, Nimoy, a few of the guys from the Guild, Wheaton (who is phenominal), Takei, Billy Dee, and a bunch of other people. In a few years, if it keeps growing, could reach that second tier of important comic cons.

That would explain a lot.
Ive never gone cause Trekkies creep me out. Course I think the 501st are kinda Dbags too, with Lucas the biggest DBag ever, so I guess it goes both ways. If you're not into the cosplay or getting something signed is there anything else cool to do? I know in San Diego there's movie sneak peaks, upcoming toys, and in general previews of a lot of things. |

FYI...
The Ross store in the Foothills mall plaza has 1 Sand Serpent Jet, the Air Assault Glider, and several Walmart 2-Figure packs. The Ross on Oracle & Ruthrauff/Automall Drive, has a similar line-up, but had at least 4 Sand Serpent Jets yesterday. |
